"It's been a couple months, let's discuss our feelings about the weather."

#PokemonGO: Now that weather has been a thingtm for a couple months, I figured it's time for a kind-of post-mortem on how we feel about it.My thoughts:Overall: I really like it. It's a huge benefit to the game and makes it way more engaging to be able to grab boosted pokemon or see your spawn tables get tweaked during the various weather types.Pros:Boosted stats of weather-boosted pokemonMore diversity of spawns depending on weather(at least in my area)More engaging gameplay(makes the game feel more 'real world'Weather boosted raid bosses lowering the amount of resources needed to power up.Cons:Weather-only spawns. Looking at you, Lotad. Niantic needs to balance these out in some way if they want the game to be more walking, less driving. The only way to get enough Lotad candies for anything is to drive around watching scanners - no one is out walking in the rain because water wrecks phones and walking in the rain is miserable. Cacnea is fine because it's a clear-weather spawn. They helped the Castform situation by making ice-form available in snow and fog weather types. But anything that is rain or snow only is going to really make the game more pokemon drive (and it doesn't need pushed anymore in that direction since raids have made it pokemon drive, anyway).The phenomenon we haven't really figured out yet that shows certain pokemon boosted and others not every time the one type of weather comes around. For instance, in my area, sometimes when it's cloudy we have Gulpin everywhere and very very few Makuhita. Other times there are many more Makuhita and fewer Gulpin. In windy weather, sometimes it's Natu as far as the eye can see and other times we get more uncommon spawns like Baltoy or Meditite popping up everywhere. I think, if this is actually a thing, it needs to be done away with and the spawns should be evened out. If I go out in cloudy weather, I don't want to be drowned by Weedle or Gulpin every time when I was looking forward to Makuhita.Weather inaccuracy and weather switching. We had a rainy forecast for the entirety of Friday night and Saturday, with it actually raining from Friday around 8 to Saturday around noon. The entirety of Friday evening, the weather in-app kept switching back and forth from cloudy to rainy every hour which kills the ability of spawns to really get going for either weather type. Then Saturday after after it stopped raining we had rainy weather in-app for the next 6 hours. This really needs improved so we can rely on our weather forecasts.What are you thoughts? Anything to add to the pros and cons? via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2G82rKs
